I am so sorry to hear things are bad physically and emotionally.  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Sounds like you need to get back to Tracey and if he can't help, try McMinn or even an email to Dr. De Smet in Belgium.  They might have some suggestions for you.

You just should not be in such pain, but I don't know what to tell you since I am not a doctor.

Just know, we are there for you as much as we can be on the internet.

Hi Ruby

I really feel for you and echo what the others have said about getting help.  I can't imagine what you are going through as we are all different.  I do know that personally I had just a couple of really dark days at the beginning of my third post op week when the groin pain was unbearable at times and I wondered if it had been a mistake.  I re-read so many of the old posts on here and realised that everyone seemed to go through really low points and it wasn't something specific about my recovery. Having read all the old posts I reconciled my self to the fact that the pain was just about angry muscles fighting back against the new positions and roles they were being forced into. I concentrated for a whole day on simple groin and hamstring stretching whilst laying on the bed. I followed that up with static bike sessions which stretched those angry groin muscles, encouraging them to extend into their new roles. Within a few days the clouds were lifting and I could see progress.  I know that your situation is much worse than mine but I suspect that it is just angry muscles and tendons and is not insurmountable, if somewhat painful.  Stay strong, keep exercising and get that advice from your physio and surgeon. 

You are not alone
